Hebrews 13
1 Let brotherly love continue.
Let love for the brethren dwell among you.
2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for in doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.
And forget not kindness to strangers; for thereby some have been privileged to entertain angels, unawares.
3 Remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body.
And remember those in bonds, as if ye were bound with them: and recollect those in affliction, as being yourselves clothed in flesh.
4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
Marriage is honorable in all; and their bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers, God will judge.
5 Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you or forsake you."
Let not your mind love money; but let what ye have, satisfy you. For the Lord himself hath said, I will never leave thee, nor slacken the hand towards thee.
6 So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can humans do to me?"
And it belongeth to us, to say confidently, My Lord is my aider, I will not fear. What can man do to me?
7 Remember your leaders, who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith.
Remember your guides, who have spoken to you godly discourse; examine the issue of their course, and imitate their faith.
Jesus the Messiah is the same, yesterday, to-day, and for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings, for it is good that the heart be established by grace, not by food, through which those who were so occupied were not benefited.
Be not led away by strange and variable doctrines. For it is a good thing, that we strengthen our hearts with grace, and not with meats; for those have not been benefited, who walked in them.
10 We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.
And we have an altar, of which they who minister in the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned outside of the camp.
For the flesh of those animals, whose blood the high priest brought into the sanctuary for sins, was burned without the camp.
12 Therefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside of the gate.
For this reason, Jesus also, that he might sanctify his people with his blood, suffered without the city.
13 Let us therefore go out to him outside of the camp, bearing the abuse he bore.
Therefore, let us also go forth to him, without the camp, clothed with his reproach:
14 For we do not have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.
(for we have here no abiding city; but we expect one that is future: )
15 Through him, then, let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
and through him, let us at all times offer to God the sacrifices of praise, that is, the fruits of lips which give thanks to his name.
16 But do not forget to be doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
And forget not commiseration and communication with the poor; for with such sacrifices a man pleaseth God.
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch on behalf of your souls, as those who will give account, that they may do this with joy, and not with groaning, for that would be unprofitable for you.
Confide in your guides, and hearken to them; for they watch for your souls, as men who must give an account of you, that they may do this with joy and not with anguish; for that would not be profitable to you.
18 Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.
Pray ye for us; for we trust we have a good consciousness, that in all things we desire to conduct ourselves well.
19 I strongly urge you to do this, that I may be restored to you sooner.
Especially do I request you to do this, that I may return to you speedily.
20 Now may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an everlasting covenant, our Lord Jesus, (aiōnios g166)
May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the flock, by the blood of the everlasting covenant, namely Jesus the Messiah, our Lord, (aiōnios g166)
21 make you complete in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
make you perfect in every good work, that ye may do his pleasure; and himself operate in you that which is pleasing In his sight, through Jesus the Messiah; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 But I exhort you, brothers, endure the word of exhortation, for I have written to you in few words.
And I beseech you, my brethren, that ye be patient under this word of exhortation; for it is in few words I have written to you.
23 Know that our brother Timothy has been freed, with whom, if he comes shortly, I will see you.
And know ye, that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: and if he come soon, I, with him, shall see you.
24 Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy send you greetings.
Salute all your guides, and all the saints. All they of Italy salute you.
25 Grace be with you all.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
